Jackie needs to be in the low 19's right now and breaking into the 18's by state time. I am not sure that is going to happen!~ Like someone else said. it seems that our girls have "other" things on their minds and are not running like they are capable of running! :justwrestle:

I know what she is capable of but she is just to good at to many things. So everyone wants her to play their sport. If she only had one or two things to do and could stay focussed and enjoyed it there is no telling what she could do.

AMEN!!!!!! These kids who play two or three sports MUST be willing to put in the extra time and effort that it takes to excel at two sports. That may mean practicing both in one day. Though that may be a little tough and may take some time, I still contend that that is still easier than going out and getting a job like many kids have to do. There are a few of the guys that practice two sports on the same day, and that is the reason that these guys will get better. If JP wants to excel at two sports, then she must RUN and SHOOT every day. Will it happen????? :D

I agree with MustangRunning that Jackie is so good at so many things that every coach at Bradley would love to have her (except maybe wrestling). I believe being very good at something can be like a curse. If you are absolutely terrible, then you know to quit. If you're just ok, well then you just keep on being ok. If you are elite, then you know to keep on doing what your doing cause it's working. Being very good means you need to do something different to become elite but what do you do? I'm not sure that athletes today can be elite in more than one sport and still keep their grades up and have any type of normal life. I know there are exceptions but most concentrate on one sport. And if there is one thing I do know for sure, those girls are going to find a way to have a social life. Jackie is an awesome runner and I have no doubt she could run low 18's IF she devoted herself to running, but then basketball might suffer or her grades might suffer. I, personally, would love to see her run in the 18's and I truly believe that one day I will, maybe not this year, but certainly by her senior year. :angry:

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
